ATLANTA/MACON/SAVANNAH — For the fifth straight year Mercer University has enrolled a record number of students. The University-wide student population is up 1.2 percent to 8,336 students. This also marks the third year in a row the University’s enrollment has been more than 8,000 students.
This year’s enrollment increase is driven in part by a continuing expansion of degree programs, including doctoral programs, new programs in the health sciences, and the continued expansion of the Medical School campus in Savannah.
